Brisbane Youth Detention Centre
Each cell contains a bed, toilet, shower, desk and a shelf. Bedding and toiletries are supplied. Each child is given breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. Phone calls of up to 10 minutes at a time totaling 120 minutes of call time each week are permitted.
Detainees are allocated chores like cleaning but there is no hard labour. Children are assigned a caseworker. Youth detention centres in Queensland have an education and training centre, which detainees are required to participate in five days a week.
History
On 30 January 2017, seven detainees were involved in a riot. They forced themselves on to the roof of an accommodation unit and caused severe damage to the centre's infrastructure as well as injuring staff.
